Looking For Gauge Panel By Radio

Like title says im looking for a gauge panel/radio dash kit.

I know 1fastT2 use to make them but nothing current showing that hes still doing them. I really would like to have the one with the radio on bottom and gauges on top.

If any of you make these panels or know someone please let me know.

Thank you.

I just sold one a few months ago, it was beautifully made but I don't like gauges in that location.

Not exactly the same, but I blanked my dash using 2 metra kits.

I work for a metra dealer so I got the super cheap.

Don't have a pic, but if you scroll to 2:05 in this video, you'll see it clear as day.

I still suggest you watch the whole video and comment in my exhaust thread though.

It was a quick ghetto rigging. I still wish i would do it the right way, but I haven't had the time and have other more pressing issues with the car.

I just made my own. Find a flat piece of plastic around single DIN size, and go to town

In another car I used the VDO/Autometer angled gauge rings.

I have the Glowshift one and it fits pretty well. There's small gaps between the top/bottom of it and the surround just from where it's zig-zagging, but it's not bad. For $10 or whatever it is, you can't go wrong.

I would make sure you have gauges that don't have huge faces. Because it's angled there's only so much room for the face to sit before it hits the side of the one next to it. I had to put my Innovate AFR gauge on the left so it didn't have to fit in next to one. The Prosport gauges fit in the right two just fine.

I can post one a bit later. Do you know if they are the same size as the MTX-L wideband? It's not a huge fitment issue, perhaps about 1-2mm. If anything you can always just shave a bit off the size of the gauge or gauge pod.

yeah you're better off making your own like I did. Try to find plastic cause I used fiber glass and that was a mission to work with (had the wrong cutting and drill bits).After I finished cutting it i sprayed it down with 3M undercoating and it matches pretty well. I'll post a picture of mine when I get home.

I think when i redo my radio delete, I am going to mod my 2 metra kits with a flat sheet of ABS the we have at work for custom trim.

My problem is...I do this **** at work all day long, I don't want to do it on my own car.
